Who Told Him To Cultivate Immortality!

Chapter 18 - Demon Bird

Lu Yang's knowledge of the cultivation world was not comprehensive. Before entering the Dao Seeking Sect, all his knowledge came from the storyteller. After entering the Dao Seeking Sect for a year, his knowledge of cultivation increased at an astonishing rate. However, none of the books he read mentioned how to get off a flying boat.

Who would write such things in their books?

In terms of knowledge of the cultivation world, he was not as knowledgeable as Tao Tianye, who grew up in a cultivator family.

He only knew that flying boats belonged to the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce. The way to get off a boat was to jump off, but he did not know the specific method.

Every year, flying boats brought in a huge amount of wealth, but this was just a small business to the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce.

The Falling Money Trading Company was the largest trading company in the Central Continent. The power behind it was mysterious, and it had countless rare treasures. As long as you had enough spirit stones, you could even buy immortal treasures that only existed in legends, such as the Buddhist Kingdom's relics, the Demon Domain's sacred bones, and the Immortal's Dao Fruit.

If anyone dared to owe the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce a debt, or if they were lucky enough to steal from the chamber of commerce, then the disappearance of several powerful cultivators was a warning to the world.

Legend had it that there was a powerful cultivator known as the Thief King. He was proficient in the Dao of Space and could easily steal other people's storage space. Distance was just a series of meaningless numbers to him. He could cross thousands of mountains and rivers with a single step, from the westernmost part of the Central Continent to the Land of Extreme Winter.

He had even stolen items from powerful cultivators in the Tribulation Stage.

There was an unwritten rule in the Dao of Theft, and that was to not steal from the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce.

Originally, the Thief King abided by the teachings of his ancestors and did not have any connections with the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce. As his reputation grew, countless famous experts joined forces to hunt him down, but they could not find even a corner of his clothes. He gradually felt that this powerful cultivator was nothing special. He had already surpassed the Ancestor of Thieves, so there was no need for him to abide by the rigid teachings of his ancestors.

He arrogantly announced that he would steal the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce's treasures tonight.

Everyone thought that the Thief King would either be able to steal the treasures silently with his Dao of Space, or that there would be a battle within the chamber of commerce between the Thief King and the powerful cultivator behind the chamber of commerce.

No one expected that nothing would happen that night. From then on, the Thief King never appeared again and disappeared without a trace.

Lu Yang's embarrassment only lasted for a short while. When it was time to jump off the boat, the stranger did not have time to look at Lu Yang.

Everyone held up their paper umbrellas and jumped down, disembarking one after another.

Lu Yang and Tao Tianye also moved.

High up in the sky, a few strangers opened their parachutes. From afar, they looked as small as sesame seeds. Lu Yang was different. He pulled the rope behind him and the parachute opened with a "bang" sound. It was particularly eye-catching in the sky.

Normally, Lu Yang would be very nervous at such a high altitude.

But Lu Yang wasn't in the mood to think about this right now.

It was too awkward.

Fortunately, everyone had different destinations. Only Lu Yang and Tao Yao Ye went to Taiping Village.

As soon as they arrived at Taiping Village, the two received a warm welcome from the village chief. The chief seemed to have known that they would arrive.

"Immortals, you're finally here.

The way you jumped off the flying boat was really extraordinary. "

Lu Yang opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't ask how he knew when they would arrive.

"My name is Lu Yang, and her name is Tao Tianye. We are both disciples of the Dao-seeking Sect. The description of the demon bird in the mission is not very detailed. Please tell us more about it."

The village head even prepared a banquet to welcome them. First, they would drink a few rounds. If they drank too much, they would be given some local specialties. Then, they would talk about the demon bird in detail and ask for help. This was how the higher-ups did their jobs.

He did not expect the two to be so swift and decisive. He could not help but feel happy and secretly praised them. They were indeed disciples of the immortal school.

Tao Tianye looked at the village head. He was in the later stage of Qi Refining. He did not have a good foundation in his early years. There were many impurities in his Wakan. He had no hope of building his foundation. He was an ordinary cultivator with nothing special about him.

Speaking of the demon bird, the village head looked depressed. There were not many outsiders in Taiping Village and it was relatively isolated. Now that the news of the demon bird had spread, even the merchants were not willing to come here.

He had reported it to Qu He County, but the county was short of manpower. Seeing that the demon bird did not hurt people, the county head said to wait until they were free to send people to Taiping Village.

Twenty days passed in a flash.

"It was about twenty days ago. Tailor Feng ran to the street shouting and saying that a man-eating big monster had come to his house. It was very powerful."

"When the neighbors heard it, they were shocked. A man-eating monster was not a small matter. There were about thirty cultivators in Taiping Village. Among them, my cultivation was the highest. Since I was the village head, Tailor Feng brought the neighbors to find me."

"Before we kill the monster, we need to find out the situation. I asked Tailor Feng, who did the big monster eat?"

There was a big difference between a monster that had eaten a human and a monster that had not. Man was the spirit of all creatures and was born with the mind acupoint opened. After eating a human once, the monster would miss the taste and would eat a second or third person … causing trouble.

"Tailor Feng said that I did not know who the big monster ate, but the monster could speak. It must have eaten a human before."

There were rumors among the people that monsters could speak human language and turn into human form after eating humans. However, these were all false rumors.

How could the cultivation of the demon race be so simple? To speak human language and refine the hyoid bone in the throat, one had to be at least in the late stage of Qi Refinement.

"Tailor Feng said that the monster was colorful. At first, he thought that it was a bird that had lost its way in the forest. The monster bird sat behind him and watched him sew without moving. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and spoke, scaring Tailor Feng into running out of the shop."

"I saw that Tailor Feng couldn't give me any useful information, so I told them to wait in the distance. I sneaked closer alone and saw the Demon Bird."

"That demonic bird's feathers are bright and glossy. There's a very bright red color around its eyes. It's obvious that it's not an ordinary bird. How could an ordinary bird dare to be so ostentatious?"

"The demon bird opened its mouth and asked me, 'Who are you? Where is Zhang Guanjia?'

His tone is rather urgent. "

"I don't understand. Zhang Guanjia is a cultivator from our village. He is at the third level of Qi Disciple and his cultivation level is average. How could he have a connection with a demon beast?"

"At that time, I tried my best to relax and make myself look harmless. I politely asked, 'May I know why the Demon King is looking for Zhang Guanjia?'

"The Demon Bird didn't answer. It flapped its wings and left the tailor's shop."

"Since then, the Demon Bird has been flying around Taiping Village. It eats the crops in the fields and speaks human language. Although it doesn't eat humans, how could mortals not be afraid when they see a monster? Therefore, everyone has been living in fear these days, afraid that the Demon Bird will go berserk and eat everyone in one bite."

"Have you fought with the Demon Bird before? How strong is it?" Lu Yang asked.

The village chief shook his head: "That Demon Bird is always in the sky. It appears and disappears unpredictably."

"Also, I can't see through the Demon Bird's cultivation level. This means that it is at least at the seventh level of Qi Refinement like me. I'm worried that the Demon Bird has no intention of harming humans. If I fight with it rashly, I might end up making a fool of myself and angering it."

Lu Yang nodded. The village chief's actions were reasonable.
